NOTES
PAGE 12 — AR14H RIDE-ON ROLLER • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #4 (09/08/20)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The AR14H roller has been designed for asphalt application and compaction of granular soils used in site preparation. Machine should only be used for the purpose intended and by experienced personnel who understand this operation manual and all safety decals. Typical applications for this roller are compaction of base material, asphalt patching and roadway construction.
Standard features included with this roller are compact design, recessed drive motors,maintenance-free articulation joint and vibrator assembly, easy-to-use controls, 34-gallon (130 liters) water tank, and hour/tachometer.
POWER PLANT
The AR14H roller is powered by a Honda GX630, air-cooled, gasoline engine rated at 20.8 hp @3,600 rpm. The engine features a side-mounted muffler designed to direct engine exhaust away from the operator. In the event of low oil, this engine has a built in "oil alert system" that will shut down if the engine oil level reaches an unsafe operating level.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The Honda GX630 engine drives an axial hydraulics, variable displacement pump which is manually controlled via a cable control system. Pump flow is directed through an aluminum block manifold which provides the control for the 3 hydraulic motors.
The hydraulic drum drive system incorporates a series closed loop configuration operating at a maximum pressure of 2,900 psi. In addition this hydraulic system offers a "free wheel valve" which allows the roller to be towed in the event of an emergency.
The forward-reverse control lever operates the hydrostatic pump which governs the roller speed and direction of travel. The speed in which movement of this lever is made is directly related to the amount of pressure that is applied to the travel lever in each direction. Travel speed is infinitely variable from 0 to 4.8 mph. The neutral position of this lever will cause the roller to stop.
COMPACTION SYSTEM
The compaction force is delivered by a 35.6-inch wide steel drum with beveled edges to help prevent asphalt marring. A fully enclosed hydraulic drive system offers a variable speed control as well as smooth acceleration and braking.
Connected to the axial hydraulic pump is a gear pump that provides power for the drum vibratory system and the articulating steering system. Oil from this pump flows to the manifold control valve block and then to a hydraulic motor which rotates the eccentric weights inside a sealed housing containing grease to lubricate the bearings.
A toggle switch located on the side of the travel lever, activates a valve that engages or disengages the vibratory action. The drum's vibratory action generates 3,400 lbf (15.1 kN) of centrifugal force at a frequency of 4,200 vpm (vibrations per minute). If the vibration appears to be weak or slow, allow the machine to warm up thoroughly, and check the hydraulic oil level. Add hydraulic oil if necessary.
The vibrator housing and drum are shock mounted to isolate the engine compartment and operator from vibration.
The roller nominally has an operating weight of 2,688 lb. (1,219 Kg) but can be increased to 2,980 lb. (1,352 Kg) by adding a water ballast to the rear drum.
HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER SYSTEM
The hydraulic system oil is filtered by a screen type filter located in the reservoir filler neck, then doubled filtered within the system first by a 40 micron mesh-type suction filter located in the tank and the by a Zinga 10-micron, cartridge style, spin-on return line filter.
ARTICULATED STEERING SYSTEM
Power for the articulated steering system, which uses a single hydraulic cylinder, is provided by the gear pump. This steering system can produce an inside turning radius of 150 inches (3.81 meters).
SPRINKLER SYSTEM
A 34-gallon (130 liters) water tank, with a pressurized feed spray bar, is provided for wetting the roller for asphalt pavement rolling.
The water system is fully adjustable from the operator’s position with a single volume control.
LIFTING THE ROLLER
When lifting of the roller is required, attach a suitable hook or shackle to the lifting eyes of the roller. These four lifting points are marked by a lifting hook decal. Make sure the lifting device is capable of lifting 4,000 lb. (1,814 Kg).
AR14H RIDE-ON ROLLER • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #4 (09/08/20) — PAGE 13
GENERAL INFORMATION
OPERATING ON SLOPES
Special care must be taken when operating the roller on hills or slopes. There exists the possibility of serious injury to the operator and severe damage to the roller in the event of a roll over. ALWAYS operate the roller up and down hills rather than from side to side. For safe operation, hillside slopes should not exceed 14 degree (25 % grade). See Figure 2. Always wear seat belt when operating the roller.
Figure 2. Recommended Slope
DANGER
DO NOT allow personnel to stand under or near any suspended machine. Before operating the roller, make sure that personnel and obstacles are free from the roller’s path. Serious injury or death may result.
CAUTION
ONLY use approved certified lifting devices capable of lifting at least 4,000 lb. (1,814 Kg.).
CAUTION
When lifting of the roller is required, only use the provided lifting eyes to lift the roller. Using other sections of the roller for lifting purposes may cause severe damage to the roller.
25%
IMPROPER OPERATION ON SLOPES
Figure 3. Improper Operation on Slope
In the event the roller does tip over, if at all possible, try to shut down the engine by turning the ignition key to the OFF position. Extreme care must be taken to prevent damage to the engine. When the roller has been tipped over, oil from the engine crankcase can flow into the combustion chamber, which can severely damage the engine the next time it is started.
IMMEDIATELY after a unit has tipped over, upright the unit as soon as possible to prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber.
CAUTION
NEVER operate the roller on side slopes (Figure 3). The possibility exists that the roller could tip over (roll over), thus causing bodily harm, even death, and serious damage to the equipment.
SIDE TO SIDEOPERATION
NOTRECOMMENDED
ROLL OVER
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine after a rollover, the roller must not be started. NEVER start a roller after a rollover. Contact your nearest authorized Multiquip dealer for instructions or servicing.

HYDRAULIC OIL SYSTEM
The hydraulic system consists of a two-pump stack directly coupled to the engine. A hydraulic valve block (manifold)is provided for quick and easy testing and troubleshooting.
Hydraulic oil is filtered by a screen filter located in the tank filler neck, a 40 micron suction filter located in the tank, and a 10 micron return filter, with cold oil bypass valve located in the return circuit.
It is recommended that ISO 46 type hydraulic oil or equivalent be used when adding or replacing the hydraulic oil is required.
DO NOT USE MULTI-VISCOSITY OIL. Clean oil is a very important part of proper hydraulic system operation. Hydraulic oil is not only used to transfer power; it also lubricates and cools the system components. Keeping the hydraulic system clean can help reduce costly repairs.
The hydraulic oil level sight glass is located on the right rear of the front drum, below the engine compartment. This level should be checked daily. Oil must be below the top and above the bottom of the sight glass. DO NOT OVERFILL! Care should be taken to clean the filler cap before adding oil to the system. If hydraulic oil has to be added, the machine should be inspected for leaks.
The suction filter (Figure 28) is located inside the hydraulic tank. This filter is attached to the fitting connected to the hydraulic pump suction hose.
The return filter (Figure 28) is located at the front of the engine compartment. Replace both filters according to the Table 5.
CHANGING HYDRAULIC OIL AND FILTERS
1. Park the roller on a clean flat work area and set the parking brake.
CAUTION
DO NOT open hydraulic lines or loosen hydraulic fittings while engine is running! Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, blind, cause burns or create other potentially dangerous hazards follow all safety instructions as described throughout this manual.
MAINTENANCE
2. Remove the hydraulic oil drain plug (Figure 28) and drain the hydraulic oil. Dispose of the used oil in an environmentally friendly manner. Replace the drain plug and tighten.
Figure 28. Hydraulic Filter Locations
3. Remove the return filter and install a new filter. Dispose of the used filter in an environmentally friendly manner.
4. Disconnect the suction hose and remove the fitting from the tank. Replace the suction filter. Dispose of the used filter in an environmentally friendly manner. Replace the fitting and reconnect the suction hose.
FREEWHEEL ENGAGEMENT VALVE
This hydraulic system has a freewheel engagement valve allowing hydraulic oil to be bypassed. Open (turn allen wrench counterclockwise) this valve (Figure 29) to engage the freewheel capability of the roller. When the valve is fully opened, ports A and B are allowed to connect, bypassing the oil to and from the drum drive motors.

NOTICE
The freewheel engagement valve (towing) is only for emergency use. DO NOT move roller over 2 MPH or long distances as hydraulic system component failure could result.
AR14H RIDE-ON ROLLER • OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #4 (09/08/20) — PAGE 29
MAINTENANCE
Figure 29. Freewheel Engagement Valve
Remember the freewheel engagement valve should only be used in emergencies when the roller cannot be driven due to engine or hydraulic system problems.
When towing of the roller has been completed, this valve must be closed (turn allen wrench fully clockwise) completely and the lock nut set. Failure to close this valve completely will result in low power, improper speed, and excessive hydraulic oil temperature.
DRUM DRIVE
The drum drive circuit is a series, closed loop system consisting of a hydrostatic pump, two relief valves, a freewheel engagement valve, and front and rear drum drive motors.
The hydrostatic pump is manually controlled by a cable connected to the forward/reverse travel lever located on the right side of the operator seat. When the travel lever is placed in forward, high-pressure oil is supplied by the hydrostatic pump to the valve block (port A). The valve block (manifold) directs this high-pressure oil to the front and rear drum drive motors. Return oil from the motors is returned to the valve block (port B) and is returned to the suction side of the hydrostatic pump.
With the travel lever in reverse position, oil will flow in the opposite direction (port B becomes high-pressure and port A becomes suction).

VIBRATION AND STEERING
The vibration and steering system is an open loop circuit operated by a gear type pump. Separate relief valves control each circuit. This system consist of the gear pump, relief valves, electric vibration control valve, vibration drive motor, steering valve, and steering cylinder.
The vibration circuit is controlled by an electric control valve located on the valve block (manifold). This valve is controlled by the toggle switch mounted on the travel lever.
High-pressure oil is supplied by the pump to the valve block (port P) and is directed to the electric control valve. When the switch is in the “OFF” position, this valve is open allowing oil to go to the steering valve, without driving the vibration motor.
When the switch is in the “ON” position, the electric control valve closes and oil is directed out of port 1 to the vibration motor. Return oil from the motor returns to the valve block via port 2 and is directed to the steering valve.
Steering is controlled by a steering valve and cylinder. The steering wheel is direct coupled to the steering valve controlling the oil flow to the cylinder. Oil supplied from the vibration circuit is directed to port 3 which connects to port P of the steering valve. When steering is not being used, oil passes out of port T of the valve block and returns to the hydraulic tank. When the steering wheel is operated, the steering valve closes and oil is directed to ports L or R to extend or retract the steering cylinder.
